Kings XI Punjab could target Eoin Morgan in the auction as they need a strong middle-order batsman.

During the previous season their batting unit heavily depended on the star-studded top order comprising Chris Gayle, Mayank Agarwal, and KL Rahul. The players in the middle order, however, failed to make an impact with the bat.

David Miller is one of their best players, but his performances were rather underwhelming last season. Therefore, it might be a good idea to consider an explosive performer like Morgan.

Using his World Cup experience, Morgan could shepherd the lineup and get them across the finish line. The Indian lower middle-order batsmen would gain valuable insights while batting with him. Plus, the young Sam Curran would be happy to do battle with England's national hero by his side.

Apart from all these reasons, Morgan would be a helpful mentor to the KXIP skipper Ravichandran Ashwin in crucial situations. If the need arises midway through the season, the management would even have an option to make Morgan the captain.
